An assessment tool to evaluate complete streets in developing countries: The case of Qatar
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Complete streets refer to a simple and effective transportation policy to improve traffic safety and comfort for all users within urban areas. Car dependency is a major concern in developing countries. Endorsing complete ...
Effectiveness of Consistency Measures in Crash Prediction Models for Two-Lane Highways in Palestine
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Crash prediction models (CPMs) are important tools to predict the safety performance of highways based on their operational and geometric characteristics. Most of these models use geometric design characteristics to predict ...
Drivers� crossing behaviour between express and local lanes with soft separation: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
In different countries, hard separation is adopted as a technique to separate express and local lanes. However, in case of an incident, especially on the express lane, traffic jams can occur as there is no escape route. ...
The impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior in rural-urban transition road segments: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
This driving simulator study investigated the impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior by creating perceptual effects via pavement markings. Two different marking schemes (i.e. Optical Circles and Optical ...
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ...
Analysis of illegal pedestrian crossing behavior on a major divided arterial road
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Pedestrians’ illegal mid-block crossing increases the chances of a crash compared to crossing at marked or signalized crosswalks. Therefore, it is necessary to have an accurate understanding of this type of behavior to be ...
Well-to-wheel water footprints of conventional versus electric vehicles in the United States: A state-based comparative analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Today, increasing levels of water demand become a particularly serious challenge for many countries, especially since water is an essential element for production of transportation fuels. Unfortunately, no research efforts ...
A comparative study on the operational performance of four-leg intersections by control type
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The selection of proper control types at intersections at the planning stage is an important concern considering the difficulty in comparing the performance of different control types. Therefore, several manuals proposed ...
Performance evaluation of the inside intersection median-turn lane markings on the mobility and safety performance of signalized intersections in the Philippines and Japan
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Signalized intersections are one of the key elements that play a vital role at road networks. The efficiency and safety levels of intersections can affect the operational performance of the whole system. In general, turning ...
